Derroche

Davinia's song 'Derroche' is a passionate ode to a night of unrestrained love and intimacy. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a romantic evening where time seems to stand still, symbolized by the 'reloj de cuerda suspendido' (suspended clock) and the 'teléfono desconectado' (disconnected phone). These elements suggest a deliberate disconnection from the outside world, creating a private universe for the lovers. The imagery of 'una mesa dos copas de vino' (a table with two glasses of wine) sets the stage for an intimate encounter, where the night takes on a life of its own, as expressed in 'y a la noche se le fue la mano' (and the night got out of hand).

The chorus, with its repeated lines 'Besos, ternura, qué derroche de amor, cuánta locura' (Kisses, tenderness, what a waste of love, how much madness), emphasizes the overwhelming and almost irrational nature of their passion. The word 'derroche' (waste) is used ironically here, as it suggests an abundance of love and affection that feels almost excessive. This excess is not seen as negative but rather as a celebration of their deep connection and the intensity of their emotions. The lovers are described as 'dos irracionales que se iban a morir mañana' (two irrational beings who were going to die tomorrow), highlighting the urgency and fervor of their love, as if they are living in the moment with no regard for the future.

The song also touches on the idea of transcending ordinary experiences, as seen in the lines 'Para entrar en el cielo no es preciso morir' (To enter heaven, it is not necessary to die). This suggests that their love and the night they share are so profound that they feel like they are in a heavenly state, without needing to leave the earthly realm. The repeated wish for the night and the 'luna de abril' (April moon) to never end underscores their desire to prolong this perfect moment of connection and passion.

Overall, 'Derroche' is a celebration of love's intensity and the beauty of living fully in the present moment. It captures the essence of a night where two people are completely absorbed in each other, creating a timeless and unforgettable experience.
